Intervention
The P4P initiative is designed to accelerate the transitions of excluded South African youth into growth sectors of the economy through alternative methods of skilling and training. The implementers all implement skilling programs that are quicker, cheaper and more demand driven than traditional programs. Implementers have to prove that they have secured an income earning opportunity for the candidates prior to receiving working capital. Implementers then train the candidates and place them into jobs within the three pre-specified "growth sectors" in the economy namely: Business Process Outsourcing, Digital and Technology and Installation, Repairs & Maintenance.
Target population
South African citizens aged between 18 and 35 excluded from the economy

Important Notice and Disclaimer on INDIGO Data
INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices.
